What is the best way to run a stompa? Deff arsenal looks mean but to be honest running a vanilla stompa looks more cost effective plus with a decent roll the super gatler could take out most of a 2000 point army.

Supa gatla isn't as effective as you'd think barring obscene luck.

2d6 shots at 3 units at ork BS will still only yield about 4 hits per.

A vanilla stompa can fire a pretty decent amount of dakka off, but the bulk of it will miss.

Pack it full of meks for insane repair shenanigans.

Firepower-wise I think the large blast missiles are totally worth the extra points. Pie Plates can wreck havoc with the enemy deployment and its worth it just for that

The Kustom Stompa is the best out there because it can take Bursta Kannons for strength D. However, it is not officially a lord of war yet.

Check again. Forgeworld has released a list of superheavies that like triples the number of LoW.

Dread Mob can also take any Ork superheavy.

Thank god for forgeworld!

Which then brings up the whole 'is fw official...' gak again.

If you can get people to accept FW beyond the ones listed in Escalation, more power to you.

I rarely have trouble using FW in games.

I can't even comprehend that people would accept supers but not forgeworld.

Yes well at this point the same people who wont use forge world refuse to play agaisnt escalation rules
